Axxess AXTC-FD2 Ford Total Control Interface with Steering Wheel Control for Factory Radio Upgrades
Upgrade your Ford factory radio system while retaining essential vehicle features with the Axxess AXTC-FD2 Total Control Interface. Designed for select Ford vehicles from 2011-2023, this vehicle-specific data interface provides a complete solution for installing an aftermarket radio while maintaining important factory functions, including steering wheel controls, accessory power, Retained Accessory Power (R.A.P.), AUX input retention, and vehicle data integration.
The AXTC-FD2 combines Axxess Total Control technology with built-in steering wheel control integration, allowing users to retain factory steering wheel audio controls after replacing the original radio. The interface supports dual assignment of steering wheel control buttons, providing installers with additional flexibility to customize button functions and create a more personalized driving experience.
Featuring Auto-Detect technology, the AXTC-FD2 automatically identifies the vehicle type, radio connection, and preset control settings to simplify installation and programming. Compatible with major aftermarket radio brands, the interface can also be manually programmed for most vehicles while maintaining stored settings even after battery disconnection or interface removal.
Designed for amplified and non-amplified Ford audio systems, the AXTC-FD2 provides 12-volt 10-amp accessory power and retains Retained Accessory Power (R.A.P.) after the factory radio is removed. It also supplies navigation outputs, including parking brake, reverse, and speed sense signals, along with a 12-volt illumination output for compatible multimedia receivers.
The AXTC-FD2 helps preserve a factory-style experience by retaining balance and fade controls, the factory 3.5mm AUX input jack, and compatible factory audio functions. The included 5-volt factory amplifier step-down supports applications requiring amplifier integration, while Micro-B USB update capability allows for future software updates and easier servicing.
Before purchasing, vehicle compatibility should always be verified. The AXTC-FD2 is designed for select Ford applications, including models such as the Escape, Fiesta, Focus, Ranger, Transit, Transit Connect, F-Series, and other compatible Ford vehicles, depending on year, factory equipment, and audio system configuration.
Whether replacing a factory stereo, installing a touchscreen receiver, or upgrading a Ford multimedia system, the Axxess AXTC-FD2 delivers reliable factory feature retention and professional aftermarket integration for a clean and seamless radio upgrade.
